I don't have ifconfig in /etc/rc.conf, dhclient never runs automatically on my system.  This is true for both FreeBSD and NetBSD.

I run dhclient on the command line.

There is a line in /etc/defaults/rc.conf 

dhclient_program="/sbin/dhclient"       # Path to dhcp client program.

Setting dhclient_program="/usr/bin/true" in /etc/rc.conf would avoid the need to hack dhclient itself; I don't know if this would prevent dhclient from working from the command line.
